MOSCOW, December 14. /TASS/. Ukrainian forces have moved 434 units of military equipment to the contact line with the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), DPR defense ministry spokesman Eduard Basurin said on Monday.

The DPR defense ministry presented the latest report on movement of weaponry in Donbas. According to Basurin, at least 325 units of military equipment are concentrated on the Gorlovka direction, including 56 self-propelled artillery systems and Grad multiple rocket launcher systems, 84 units on the Donetsk direction, including 34 howitzers, self-propelled artillery systems and multiple rocket launcher systems, and 35 units on the Mariupol direction, including 10 howitzers and multiple rocket launcher systems.

Weapons and military equipment were spotted on the entire territory of the Donetsk Region, both in close proximity to the contact line and in areas far from it. "By these and many other examples of their criminal activities, official Kiev demonstrates in front of the international community its reluctance and lack of understanding of the settlement of the conflict in the south-east by peaceful means," the spokesman stressed.
